Supporting An Anxious Child

This programme will guide you in supporting a child (aged 5 - 11) who is dealing with worry and anxiety.

Help the child to learn skills that will enable them to identify their anxiety, and then gradually start to face anxiety-provoking situations.

Understand how anxiety is affecting the child and how your response may be having an impact.

Learn how to facilitate and maintain positive communication channels with the child.

Help the child to recognise the importance of facing their fears, rather then avoiding them.

Learn strategies for building self-esteem and resilience.

Supporting An Anxious Child consists of eight modules. Complete these in your own time and at your own pace over approximately eight weeks.

Each module contains engaging content and interactive activities that will help you to teach your child how to gain control of their worry and anxiety.

Find your little big thing for your mental health

There are little things we can all do to lift our mood or ease our anxiety - we need to find what works for us.

This could be as simple as taking a walk in nature, prioritising our sleep or opening up to a friend. Our little thing, if we keep doing it, will make a big difference to how we feel.

Trafford Sunrise

We provide support for children and parents in Trafford in coping with stress and promoting emotional wellbeing.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Trafford Sunrise addresses the emotional well-being needs of 5-12 year olds in Trafford through effective, evidence-based group support. Please note that 1:1 support will only be offered on an exceptional basis.

In line with the Thrive model, Trafford Sunrise offers support at levels 1 (Getting Advice) and 2 (Getting Help).

Parent Workshops

Trafford Sunrise is commissioned to deliver drop-in workshops to families in the community. This is a universal provision, and referrals for workshops are not required. These are held both online and face-to-face in community venues. Workshop topics may include anxiety, behavioural difficulties, parental separation and divorce, and bullying. Parents can be signposted to themed parent workshops. Information about workshops is shared frequently, including details of dates and topics on the Just Psychology Facebook page and Twitter feed.

For families needing focused goals-based input, a referral can be made to Trafford Sunrise by the child's GP, Paediatrician or via an Early Help Assessment. The criteria for referrals to Trafford Sunrise are:

Child is age 5-12 years at referral

Trafford resident/Trafford GP

Mild to moderate emotional or behavioural difficulties

Not actively self-harming or expressing suicidal ideation

Not currently receiving support from CAMHS (unless being supported through a diagnostic pathway)

Parent/carer is able to engage in group-based support

This service is not suitable for families being supported by social care at either Child in Need or Child Protection level (level 4) or children who are care experienced (Level 5) (Please follow this link for more information http://www.trafforddirectory.c...)

For those families referred to Trafford Sunrise, we offer the following support:
Early Support Group
Once Trafford Sunrise accepts a referral, parents are offered an Early Support Group. The Early Support Group is an online group for parents (without the children) and consists of two sessions focusing on anxiety, behaviour and emotional regulation. These sessions aim to provide helpful information based on research evidence and consider strategies to support the child. Parents have reported finding it beneficial to have some space to reflect on the issues they are dealing with and to understand some psychological principles relating to emotional regulation, anxiety and behaviour. Early Support Groups are held online on Zoom.

Working Together Groups

Once parents have completed an Early Support Group, they will be offered a Working Together Group, which they attend with their child for six weeks in a community venue in Trafford. Working Together groups are facilitated by a Practitioner Psychologist, Mental Health Practitioner, Psychotherapist or Assistant Psychologist. The groups usually have between 5 and 10 children, categorised by age. Both child and parent are expected to attend each group.

Typically, groups will cover the following (this is not exhaustive):

Recognising and understanding feelings

Strategies and resources to cope with difficult feelings

The purpose of the group is to support children and parents to develop skills which will help the children deal with stressors in their lives.

The group encourages children, parents and facilitators to work together to develop strategies to support the children through their difficulties.

Trafford Sunrise is predominantly commissioned to deliver group-based interventions and has only a very limited resource to provide 1:1 support on an exceptional basis determined by clinical need. We have a lot of experience delivering group-based approaches and work really hard to support parents and children to feel comfortable in a group. We find that most families can benefit from this approach.
Please note that we have a new referral form and will not be accepting referrals on previous versions. For enquiries, please contact us at [email protected]
